Trying to find connections to Peter E., Dandridge Williams sons of David Greenhill Williams VA to Robert Williams b. 1824. Or there may be a connection to the Sorsby family. Rebecca Williams m. Alexander Sorsby-sons Nicholas, William, and Stephen were also next to Robert Wms on the 1850 census. Alesander died in NC and Rebecca Williams m. Edwin D. Whitehead. Edwin and Rebecca are in Greene 1850. Jackey Whitehead sister to Edwin married Charles Williams -she died 1877, Charles died 1852 Mt. Hebron, Greene Co. Robert completely disappeared bet. 1854 (birth of last child) and 1860, wife Nancy Rencher Williams went to Butler Co., AL 1860 living next to her brother, sister and mother.
I have a complete dead end-any help will be appreciated. If anyone can find a death record or will in Greene I will be glad to pay for services.

Greene County has an excellent research website. It can be found doing a search for GreeneAlGen. It is linked to the Magnolia & Peaches website which offers a very detailed and searchable data base for local cemeteries. The website also features excellent information on early landowners and maps, as well.

The courthouse has records going back to the founding of the county, as well, including wills. Unlike many, it has never burned down.

Happy Hunting

Thank you for the reply. I have searched the Greene Co files at usgenweb. I haven't been to the courthouse-maybe this summer I can get someone to drive over with me. Unfortunately, most of the cemeteries at Garrets Shop and Forkland are not recorded. Robert is not on the Williams Cemetery list in Greene or the one in Hale. There is also the possibility he did not die or did not die in Greene. Nancy was listed as widow on the census-but she may have just left and went to live close to her family. The strange thing is I can't find any records on Henry b. abt. 1841. Thank you again.

Hi there.

I'm a descendant of Jackie Whitehead and Charles Williams. If you have any information on her family I'd love to compare notes. I'm at dperrigan@hotmail.com
